Thanks so much for joining us! We look forward to chatting with you.

As our "YouTube Friend" Roberto Blake says, learning YouTube is
like learning how to play a musical instrument. For real businesses
and solopreneurs who are already so stretched for time, it can be a
real challenge to try to learn how to win at the game, to learn and
practice the art, etc. Here's our story of how The ADS Agency - a
real business just like yours - was able to get to 200 subscribers
in pretty much 5 months. We listened to the likes of Sean Cannell,
TIm Schmoyer, Sunny Lenarduzzi, Roberto Blake, Derral Eves, Pat
Flynn and others to learn the best tips we could on how to learn
this YouTube game. Now you can extract the best from all of them in
this video where we explain 10 of our best tips for what's really
worked for us - plus a few bonus ones we're going to try out to
help us get to 250 and 300 (maybe even ultimately 1000
subscribers)! So stay in this journey with us. It's going to get
even more interesting!

OUR QUICK YOUTUBE STORY: When we first started out, we weren't
on YouTube to win any kind of YouTube game. We were USING YouTube
just to create caption files for our Facebook Live videos we were
doing once a month starting around May last year (2017). We read a
hack where you could rip your live video from FB, transfer it to
YouTube, manually insert your captions there and then take the SRT
file, rename it and upload that back to your FB live video - all so
that your FB live video could have captions and people might watch
it longer than 7 seconds! That was really our only purpose for
being here.

Granted, now I think you can do the same thing on Facebook, but
we're so glad we were forced to use this YouTube platform. So at
the time, we were only using Facebook live for about a month at a
time. You can see where we pretty much only uploaded a video a
month up until December last year. At that point we decided - we'd
really prefer a custom URL for our account! And that started the
rabbit hole journey of figuring out the world and craft of
YouTube.
